About Job Types

Job types give you a way to classify your jobs so you can group
and subtotal similar jobs on your reports. By using them,
you'll be able to determine which kinds of jobs are the most
profitable for your business.

What should your job types be? It's up to
you to decide. Here are a few examples:

In construction: Decks, Kitchens, Bathrooms

In graphic arts: Logos, Brochures, PR

In real estate: Brokerage, Property Management

How do customer types fit in? Customer types
let you categorize your customers independently of the types of
jobs you do. They are useful for grouping your customers into
categories that are meaningful to your business. Some examples:
Wholesale and Retail; Commercial, Residential, and Industrial; From
Advertisement, By Referral. You can use customer types in addition
to job types. You can also use job types without customer types,
customer types without job types, or neither.
